Activities are the building blocks of Batch Processes. They are specific document processing operations done to a Batch, Batch Folder, or Batch Page.

For example, OCR data is obtained from pages via the Recognize activity. Processed documents are exported to a storage platform via the Export activity.

Activities can be either "attended" or "unattended".

• Unattended Activities are automated and do not require human interaction. Classify, for example, is an unattended activity where documents are classified according to a Content Model..
• Attended Activities require human interaction. These are steps in a Batch Process where a user reviews Grooper's automated results, such as how it classified documents during the Classify activity.

Attended Activities

• Review

Review is the only user attended Activity in Grooper. Depending on what the user needs to review, one or more Review Viewers will be added to the Review step. These give users a specialized user interfaces allowing them to review the Batch and its content. The following Review Viewers are currently available:

• Scan Viewer - Gives users an interface to scan documents into a Batch using an optical scanner.
• Thumbnail Viewer - Gives users an interface to review individual pages in a Batch. Typically this is used to review the results of an IP Profile applied by an Image Processing step.
• Classification Viewer - Gives users an interface to review and edit classification results made by a Classify step.
• Separation Viewer - Gives users an interface to review and edit separation and classification decisions made by the ESP Auto Separation provider during a Separate step.
• Data Viewer - Gives users an interface to review and edit index data collected during the Extract step.
• Folder Viewer - Gives users a basic interface to navigate through folders and pages in a Batch using a tree viewer.
